Hi.

I'm Nadine. Thanks for stopping by. The floors are creaky, the kids are loud, but the door's always open and the coffee's always on.

Make yourself at home.

Summer Eating: Chicken Avocado Mango Salad

This is a staple meal in our house. We eat it at least twice a month between Easter and Thanksgiving, not because it's the "right" thing to do, but because we can't help it. It's addictive.

(Yes, it's possible to crave salad.)
